To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Honnn'r O. Bnssnrrn,

acitizen of the United States, residing at Woons'ooket, in the county of Providence and Stateof Rhode Island,.have'invented new andusetul Improvements in Drip-Receivers, or" which the following is a specification.

My invention pertains to drip receivers for use on whitewash and analogous brushes;-

and it contemplates the provision of adri receiver that is readily applicable to whitewash brushes such'as at present in general use, and is adapted to be expeditiously and easily dischar 'ed of its contents when occasion cleman s.

Other advantageous vfeatures of the inven tion will be fully understood from the following description and claim when w the same are read in connection with the draw- .lngs, accompanying and forming part of th1s specification, in which:

Figure'l 1s a vertical section taken longlmy novel recelver and a whitewash brush. Fig. 2 is a plan View taken from a point'above the bristles of the brush. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken through the receiver alone 'n the plane in dicated by the line 33 of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings. v

The brush illustrated may be of the ordinary well ,known construction, in that it comprises a body A, bristles-B, and a stick or handle O removably secured in the body' -A in the conventional or any other manner. 1

My novel drip receiver is preferably made of sheet-metal, and is designed to be a lied to the stlck or handle C, immediately below the body A, and to receive the said body A; and it thereforefcomprises a receptacle D, and a sleeve E fixe'd. to the said receptacle and adapted to snugly receive the stick or handle 0. r

As 'best' shown in Fig. l, the receptacle D is provided at its up er edge with a flange a which extends inwar 1y from the said edge and terminates in a downwardly and outwardly inclined portion 1), The said flange has for its office to prevent whitewash flow ing out of the .rece tacle D when for 'anvreason the ,brush is inverted or placedwith the bristles lowermost. It, will be notieed',*.

suitable further be noted that nmr-ancnrvnm however, that a clearance s aceisafiorded between the bend of thegsaid flange and the brush body A, and in consequence the flange does not interfere in any measure with the gravitation of excess whitewash from the ristles into the receptacle D. At about the distance illustrated above its bottom 0, the

receptacle D is provided witlna partition wall F whiclris fixed thereto and is provided with depenfing tubes d, and is 'tched or inv Patented N v clined toward the upper endsof the said tubes as shown. Thesaid partition wall F serves to form achamber G in the lower portionof the receptacle D, and connected *with the said chamber G and arranged at one side of the receptacle 1) is a discharge cock H.

I While the brush equipped with my novel receiver is in use, the excess whitewash that enters the receptacle D passes to and through the tubes cl into the chamber G, and consequently it will be seen that such whitewash is prevented from splashing out of the receptacle D incidental to the manipulation of. the brush and the receiver thereon. When, however, the chamber G ofits contents, the same may be expeditiously and easily accomplished by turning the receiver upon its side and opening the cock H.

It will be gathered from the foregoing that my novel whitewash receiver readily applied to the stick or handle dent to the securing of the latter in the rush bodyA, and may as readily be removed from the stick, or handle after the latter is se amay be appreciable extent with the manipulation o the brush against a ceiling or other overhead surface that is being whitened. It will in addition to forming the chamber G the'partition or diaphragm F contributes -materially to the stren th of the connection between the receptacle and the sleeve The construction herein illustrated and it is desired to discharge rated from the body A. From this it 01- "described constitutes the best ractical em-fl bodiment of-my invention that I I have as yet devised, butit is obvious that in the future practice of th'e invention such changes or f modifications maybe made as do not involve departure from the scope of my invention as definedin the claim appended.

artition fixed in said receptacle and spaced rom the bottom thereof to form a chamber and having depending tubes and also having portionsifi zed or inclined downwardly to the upper ends of said tubes, a cock communicating with said-chamber and extend ing outside the receptacle, and a sleeve fixed to the bottom of the receptacle and also to said diaphragm'or partition.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribingwitnessesr V I H HUBEBT O. BESSETTE.
